two 10's or one larger subwoofer?

I recently designed a dedicate Home Theater for a friend. Using 'Golden Ratios' and good room construction...trying to do everything correctly.
When it came time to chose the sub(s), I chose 2 JL's.
There's a 'balance' that I hear when two subs are loafing along...placed in the right locations...that I never get with just one.
You may have other thoughts...that's fine, this is only my impression.

His room is seamless...the bass is terrific for my (his) taste.

YMMV.

Larry,

Thanks for that, my thought is that 2 would fill the room more evenly than 1. I just wanted some input from experienced listeners so I could draw my own conclusions. As for 2 JLs that would be way outside my budget.

Thanks to everyone for their opinions. Feel free to offer more I like to hear what others are thinking about this obsessive but enjoyable hobby.

Tony,
There are other subs...you may try used ones to start. One, then a second as funds become available.
My friend has 'no budget'...frankly, I'm jealous, as most of us do.

Might try right here on 'Gon...see what's available.

Good luck,
Larry

My trusty 10" driver REL Q150E sounds amazing (with Silverline Prelude mains) from a 1 foot sealed square box, verifying that they (REL) know what they're doing. I mean really...I also have couple of pro bass rigs with various cabinets: An Eden 15 ported, Eden 2X10 (the larger one with tuning vents on top and bottom), and an Eden 12 combo ported. Of all these the 2X10 cab goes lowest in frequency, and sounds amazing stacked on top of the 15. I can get the 12 combo to sound very similar albeit at lower levels. Don't know if this helps the topic, but at least it gave me a chance to talk about my bass stuff and use the word "albeit."
